According to BlockBeats, U.S. President Donald Trump's tariff policies may place the Federal Reserve in a difficult position, potentially leading to either an economic recession or a period of stagflation. During this week's meeting, the Federal Reserve will navigate these challenges in its communications. Chairman Jerome Powell and other officials are expected to maintain a cautious stance on interest rate cuts, strategizing on how to refine this position. This deliberate patience reflects the officials' commitment to not prematurely abandon their fight against inflation.
Richard Clarida, a senior advisor at Pacific Investment Management Company, noted that the Federal Reserve is unlikely to preemptively cut rates based on economic slowdown forecasts. Instead, they will require tangible data, particularly from the labor market, to make such decisions.
